Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., told a crowd of thousands at a rally in Los Angeles on Saturday that the U.S. was facing a moment of “extraordinary danger” as he criticized the political, economic and social policies of Donald Trump.

Sanders, who also dropped by the music festival Coachella over the weekend, has been criss-crossing the U.S. to speak out against the new Republican administration.

“We are living in a moment of extraordinary danger,” he said, “and how we respond to this moment will not only impact our lives but will impact the lives of our kids and future generations.”

    The enemy of progress is division. Holding idealised views of how political parties should be is disingenuous virtue signalling and disregards how politics work(s)ed in America with AIPAC, corporate lobbying and a two party system of First Past The Post elections. You are right to want further change, but right now this divisive rhetoric only serves the ruling class. Democrats are always targeted for their failings and support for the party is often split because of it, while republicans disregard all criticism and stay united through their hatred and obfuscation of the truth. You can be right without also serving the purposes of your enemy. If they prevail, when they finally crush every last one of us because there was no united opposition. It does not matter how correct you are my friend, being right won’t matter. “I told you so” means nothing in Hell.
